what a fun and imaginative blog! it really makes me laugh, you are a great writer! like most animal lovers, I have been very interested in the aftermath of the vick situation, and it warms my heart to see some of these dogs getting the life they deserve....though the whole thing still pisses me off big time, as I live in the Philadelphia area and have to hear vick's name thru out the entire football season. I haven't watched a game since he became an Eagle, and complained not only to the NFL but to all their sponsors...and found that they just don't care - so no more of my money for them. I'd rather give it to DogsDeserveBetter, the anti tethering group that bought Vicks old property to turn it into a rescue for abused, abandoned, and formerly chained dogs.

Listen, I don't know what your involvement is with the Vick dogs, but I am an artist and if I can offer my services (pet portrait auction, etc) to help raise money for fosters/vet care, please let me know. I have done it for other groups, and would be happy to help raise some money for a cause close to my heart.

Hey Grace! I just found your blog this morning, and can I just say you are very photogenic!? My golden retriever, Lucy, saw your pictures and ran off with my camera. Now she's over by the window striking poses. I told her that the lighting is all wrong, but she won't listen.
